Hair cells in the ear detect motion through movement these cells are classified as what?
Mechanoreceptor
In the ear the basilar membrane and hair cells are found in the?
In a part of the inner ear called the cochlea (snail-like).
What structure of the inner ear would be activated by a somersault?
The hair cells in the anterior semicircular canal
What structure in the ear helps you balance?
the three fluid filled semi-circular canals. during movement, the fluid in the canals moves, causing the gelatinous materials and the hair cells in the ampulla to move. When the hair cells are bent, a nerve impulse is stimulated
How do hair cells work?
They bend and weave when sound waves hit them and then transmit signals to the brain where it comprehends sound and translates it. See also the related question below about the ear "hair" in your Vestibular System (balance center) and the body hair of the external ear.
What are the specialized cells found in ears?
hair cells are specialized cells found in the ear
What in the ear is activated by the movement of the perilymph?
Hair cells
Which term best describes cells that are stimulated when sound waves vibrate hair cells in the inner ear?
Mechanoreceptors
Hair cells in the ear detect the motion through movement. These cells are classified as?

Inner ear
Why do you loose your hearing after an ear-infection?
Two possible reasons: (1) the infection killed hair cells or otherwise damaged the ear, (2) most antibiotics which are used to treat ear infections also kill hair cells. OK, now it is less prevalent than before. BTW, hair cells help transduce sound to neural signals.
In the ear the basilar membrane and hair cells are found in the?
In a part of the inner ear called the cochlea (snail-like).
What are the sensory receptors for the the ear?
The inner ear is made up of multiple parts to amplify sound and to determine sound frequencies. The Cochlea is a spiral shaped portion of the inner ear which contains tiny "hair cells" which are the actual sensory receptors. Repeated loud noises can actually damage or destroy these hair cells causing permanent hearing loss.The ear also is used for balance, using a portion of the ear called the vestibule or vestibular system. This also has hair cells for sensory receptors that are triggered by motion.
What structure of the inner ear would be activated by a somersault?
The hair cells in the anterior semicircular canal
How does blasting the stereo make you deaf?
It injures the hair cells in your inner ear that do the sensing of sound.
